Gorgeous all-metal design, Fingerprint sensor with Android Pay, MicroSD card slot for expandable storage, Nearly pure Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Weak processor, Poor battery life, $500 is too much
Even though it regularly makes stunning phones, HTC hasn't had an easy time in stores. Sales of the M9 are poor, and the company needs to recover quickly. Making a less-attractive iPhone imitation worked the magic for Samsung with the Galaxy S3 years ag...
iPhone looks aside, the One A9 is a really nice new device from HTC. We like the thin and light design, especially in red, and the addition of a fingerprint scanner. Specs are good all-round with the rear camera looking to be the highlight but we need a p...
To compare this too much to an iPhone would be unfair to the genuinely impressive power under the hood - but it's curious that HTC has decided on this design path...
The success of the HTC One A9 will depend largely on how much it costs. If it undercuts the iPhone 6S and Galaxy S6 by £200-£300, it's hard to imagine this smartphone not selling well. It's perhaps a little too similar to the iPhone for comfort, but that...

Good camera, Solid design, Android Marshmallow;
Battery not great, Price high, Mid-range spec
This isn't the time for an HTC flagship phone - that will be around March 2016 - but there's still a feeling that this is an important device for the brand that desperately needs a win.The design is strong, if too familiar, and the overall operation is sp...
High-contrast AMOLED screen, Feels great, Much-improved camera versatility, Great finger scanner
Yes, it looks like an iPhone, Expensive in the UK, Max one-day battery life
Details such as these are mere garnish on an inarguably Apple-inspired salad. The story of the HTC One A9 is this: it looks like an iPhone 6s but won't cost you as much to own. Sold? Some people who want to fit in on a budget undoubtedly will be. For my...

Abstract: Good old HTC isn't enjoying the best of times at the moment. The company's struggling and its latest flagship phone, the HTC One M9, can be described as a bit of a flop at best. Enter, then, the firm's potential saviour - the spin-off HTC One A9.Pairing a...
Rich and colourful screen, Fast fingerprint scanner, Runs latest Android
A blatant iPhone rip-off, Woeful battery life, Badly overpriced
HTC One A9 – Battery Life This hasn't been a great year for anyone who values battery life above all else. Few phones have made great strides, and many brands have taken the decision to reduce the size of their batteries, sometimes citing fast-charging as...
Enjoyable picture and sound performance, Latest Android features, Great camera, Elegant build and design,
Screen could be more dynamic, Sound could have more insight and precision, Only Full HD resolution, Camera snaps could look more realistic,
The HTC One A9 feels like a mixed bag, but one that still has enough goodies to make it an enjoyable phone - the latest Android OS and some nifty camera features will appeal to many.Picture and sound quality might not be class leading, but they're appeali...
